Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] help-kraken-service-en.tem3.io is a malicious domain actively posing as Kraken, a well-known cryptocurrency exchange, to deceive users into surrendering their credentials or cryptocurrency assets. The domain is designed to mimic Kraken's branding, likely as part of a crypto drainer campaign aimed at siphoning funds from unsuspecting victims. PhishDestroy identifies this domain as a high-risk brand impersonation threat, leveraging social engineering tactics to exploit trust in legitimate services. help-kraken-service-en.tem3.io exhibits multiple red flags indicative of malicious intent. The domain was registered on August 02, 2024, through GoDaddy.com, LLC, and resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3. VirusTotal’s detection engine flags this domain with a score of 17/95 security vendors, signaling widespread suspicion. Google Safe Browsing has classified the domain under the SOCIAL_ENGINEERING category, and it has been blocked by MetaMask, further validating its malicious nature. Additionally, this domain appears on at least one security blocklist, reinforcing its reputation as a harmful asset. The SSL certificate, issued by Google Trust Services, suggests an attempt to appear legitimate, though this can be easily obtained by threat actors. As of the latest intelligence, help-kraken-service-en.tem3.io remains an active threat with no signs of takedown. Blocked by MetaMask and flagged by Google Safe Browsing, the domain continues to evade some security measures, likely due to its recent creation and dynamic infrastructure. PhishDestroy urges users to exercise extreme caution and verify the legitimacy of any Kraken-related domains before engagement. Given the high-risk nature of this impersonation and its association with crypto drainer tactics, immediate avoidance is recommended. Users should rely on trusted sources and tools like PhishDestroy to confirm domain safety and report suspicious activity. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 1a175a2ed3daa908e19c53be01ae7e8c TLS cert SHA-256: 942b33de262ab9fa6a937bd0dff73091bc8c768e13761aa10e9cd7dd2ce33180 ## SCORING METHODOLOGY ---------------------------------------------------------------- Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates: - VirusTotal positive ratio - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus, CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB) - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor) - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.) - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording) - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures) - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...) - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal) - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record) - Human researcher sign-off (volunteer takedown team) A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite score and the individual indicators above, not just VT. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/help-kraken-service-en.tem3.io/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=help-kraken-service-en.tem3.io Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
